This 13th edition of PGM celebrates the 30 year anniversary since our first festival in 1996! The 2026 festival explores the theme \u201cEndings, Beginnings and the Humanity In Between.\u201d In a world marked by ecological crisis, technological isolation, and political division, puppetry offers a uniquely embodied, imaginative space to reconsider what it means to be human. Each performance uses visual storytelling, myth, and material animation to explore renewal, empathy, and transformation. The 2026 Puppets in the Green Mountains Festival is made possible with the generous support of Sandglass Theater\u2019s funders, sponsors, board members, and volunteers. Funders We are grateful to our 2026 festival Funders, Sponsors and Partners: Oak Meadow, Landmark College, M &amp; T Bank, C &amp; S Wholesale Grocers,Jim Henson Foundation, Goethe Institute, Danish Art Foundation, Mascoma Bank, Sages Pub, 118 Elliot, Latchis Theater, Hilltop Montessori School, Brattleboro Museum and Art Center, Puppeteers of America, New England Youth Theater, and Next Stage Arts.
